"For example Dubbo City Regional Airport is essential for the operations of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, charter services for businesses operating in the far west as well as providing regular passenger transport services to Sydney and Broken Hill," Mr Mason said.

The agenda for the NSW Divisional meeting includes updates on the NSW inquiry into regional aviation as well as the proposed Western Sydney Airport. Other discussion items will include security screening in regional airports and information from Airservices Australia and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

As the host for this meeting Dubbo will present some of initiatives specific to Dubbo including the recent resealing of the main runway and an overview of the Dubbo Airport Strategic Master Plan," Mr Mason said.

"Sharing this information with other members of the Australian Airports Association helps contribute to the industry for the benefit of all airport operators."
